Slieve Foy

Tired of walking through mostly flat terrain and looking for a seemingly insurmountable challenge? Slieve Foye in County Louth might just be what you need to get your legs aching. Slieve Foye stands 588 metres high above Carlingford Village. You need to be pretty healthy and active to have a chance of climbing up this steep mountain without giving up. The summit of the mountain is so high that it is easily visible from anywhere in Carlingford Village. If climbing the mountain is not your cup of tea, there are plenty of other easier walking routes for you to choose from. Of these, Tain Way is one worth mentioning. If you happen to be there in August, you can also get to enjoy the various delightful events at the Oysters, Jazz & Blues Festival.
